Products - thermal insulation

Thermal bridges are part of a building where heat and/or cold is transferred at a substantially higher rate then through the surrounding envelope area. There are basically two types of this phenomenon: geometric thermal bridges where part of the structure projects through the building envelope and material thermal bridges where materials with different conductivity are used in combination. In practice, these effects often combine, a classic example of which is the balcony slab, where problems occur if the connection is not given serious consideration. The thermograph photography on the left shows that if thermal bridges at balconies are not taken care of, the balconies act as “cooling fins”; conducting the heat off the building and cooling the rooms adjacent to the balconies.

Transformers and reactors in power plants, switchyards and industrial facilities (steel mills, aluminum smelters etc.) operate with high electric currents.
Steel reinforced concrete elements must not be located within the magnetic clearance contour of these coils.
Inductive currents are generated within the reinforcing steel if it is located too close to these coils.
This can result in the heating up of the rebars and a loss of their strength.
